She remembered the things she'd only heard happened to other people. Being ignored more than usual, avoided, pushed around. Some people had even tried to steal her hat full of money. People had done that before, of course -- she was a street performer, it was part of that -- but not this much. Then there had been what she'd heard on the network. Everyone seemed to agree that it was because her ears had changed and she'd sprouted a tail. She loved being like this, but... maybe, she thought, she should go back to normal.
When the emergency message woke her up, she left the still-sleeping An-nin in her room and began wandering the halls in search of monsters. The sleepy little girl hadn't even noticed that her ears were human, nor the lack of a tail swishing behind her.

The first thing he'd thought when the emergency message had sounded had been the entirely irrational, 'Did I do that?'
Now he was a bit more awake, and dressed, and clutching his new claymore while really hoping that he didn't run into anything. But he had to make sure that Lea was all right and hadn't run into anything, because no matter how irrational it might be, Isa knew he'd feel guilty if Lea got hurt.
He'd have preferred that Lea not know about the sword, or the training he'd had, but this kind of thing was exactly what he'd done it all for, so he'd have to suck it up and deal with any potential mocking that might come afterwards.
He made his way slowly down the corridor, hoping to hear any monsters before they saw him so he could avoid them altogether, when he spotted Bu-Ling.
"You should go back to your room," he said, before he noticed anything else.

The last part registered, and he looked at Bu-Ling flatly. "You're too little, and they're dangerous. Don't fight them. Let the grown ups deal with it."
Isa did not, by that, mean the likes of himself. He didn't intend on dealing with it, he just intended on making sure Lea was okay and not off doing something stupid, like going to make sure Isa was okay, or worse, going to see if he could see the monsters.

She was careful to keep her footsteps light and her senses sharp as she walked down the hall with the Dog Beating Staff firmly in her grasp. If she did run into any monsters, she would hate to be the one who was caught off guard.

Still barefoot, he cautiously left his room, making his way down the hallway after picking up his Carbine Rifle. It was probably not the best defense, but he could do much worse.

It sounded like a bug...a really big bug. Beyond that, the only thing she could really tell from it was that it was close. It was difficult to determine its position because it moved constantly and too quickly, and looking around the hall, she didn't catch sight of anything.
When the sound of scuttling feet turned into silence, she tried to pin-point where its last position might have been...and realized the reason she hadn't seen it before as because the sound was coming from above.
She turned, there on the ceiling was something that faintly resembled a spider, except much larger, and with only one large eye.
She hissed, and drew one foot back. It wasn't to run, but to shift her stance into something more battle-ready.
Something milky white dripped from its fangs as the thin opened its mouth wide and screeched.

He was wary of things sneaking up on him, but if one of the monsters gave away their position... he was not going to waste this opportunity.

He simply would not tolerate any potential deaths being blamed on medical incompetence if destroyed equipment was the cause.
As such, he had made an effort to keep the infirmary as a sort of Safe Zone by keeping the doors firmly closed. Given their capacity to swing inwards, he had put something sturdy between the handles to prevent this. Anybody wishing to enter would have to knock, or otherwise announce their presence in some way in order to have the doors opened for them.

And speaking of problems, the doors to the infirmary appeared to have been jammed tightly shut. Balling her hand into a fist, Ari rapped sharply on the door. "Damn it, open up!"

"Patience is a virtue, Doctor Emory," Hojo said slickly, tapping the splints against the open palm of his hand.
She would probably notice that he had taken the time to set up something of an 'emergency room'. Bandages and equipment for stitches and cleaning wounds were out and readily available instead of in storage, together with whatever kinds of anaesthetic he had on hand. He didn't seem to have high-hopes for everybody getting out of this situation injury-free.

"And so is humility, Professor Hojo," she snapped as she made her way to her research station, brushing a loose strand of hair back behind her ear. "But I don't see a damned lot of that around here, either."

He met one of them near his quarters. It had him attacked on sight, and after he cut it down it...changed, somehow. What should have been a body was a framed painting. Not unlike those on exhibit in the ballroom. Inconclusive as the single incident might have been, it was for that reason that the demihuman made his way towards the ballroom now.
Reply
Ears listening for anyone shouting for help and running, he stopped when he saw the painting. What was a painting doing here? It should have been in the ballroom, right? As part of the exhibit.
Looking away from the painting and down the hallway, he saw a really tall figure making its way towards the ballroom.
"Hey!"

He went still. "Who are you?" he asked, plainly.

"I'm Mii," he explained, "The new cook."
